Following one season as an assistant on the Tennesse Tech team, Happy was happy to have the opportunity to return to coaching at Montgomery County. Of course, there are difference in coaching at the high school level after so many years working with the college players.

"Patience, you learn patience, but at the end of the day you love your kids. You want them to do well and that part is no different."

Osborne says his goal is for Montgomery County to be mentioned in the same breath as the top teams in the state.
